Gracias por esas magnificas fotos, evoque en mi mente las imagenes, los olores, los sonidos y el susto que de niño senti cuando junto a mi morocho mi padre nos cerro la canopy de ese hermoso avion.

Exitos a ti amigo

Mig-17 interception off the coast of Vladivostok 1958

Photograph taken by AT2 “Barney” Bernard, Crew 9

The Mig 17 photos were among the most passed around slides of the 1958 Iwakuni Deployment. They were taken on one of our first TAC's of the deployment by "Barney" Bernard. He was along with crew Ten operating the then secret prototypes of the Jezabel/Julie gear. Very few people in the squadron were even cleared to know what it was. The MIG out of Vladivostok buzzed us from every angle including broadside. I think he was doing camera runs to see if we had anything new as we had just recently arrived in Iwakuni. On future TAC's they just came out several thousand feet above to see if it was really us and then went back. (I remember listening to the steady stream of code in one ear and base radio and the intercom with the other in anticipation of a warning that the MIG was on the way.)

The photos were taken aft from the round windows/ports just below and ahead of the horizontal stabilizer. P2V's were fitted with a plastic bubble which was generally removed on the patrols. The ordnanceman/photographer took official photos of shipping with a large camera from the open "port". Later P2V's had a square port there. The horizontal stabilizer is visible in the foreground of the first photo. Also the yellow to the right in the second photo is the hand/knuckles of the ordnanceman holding the official Navy camera and sharing the port with Bernard.
